Mr. Graham also read the re- port of the assistant corresponding &ecretary, Mabel A. Schultz, and the Teport of the treasurer pro-tem, Mary A. Goodman.

Pledges were then enumerated. Scholarship for Clergymen’s Daughters The committee on the education of the daughters of the clerg reported that as in formef years seven sc REV. R. R. GRAHAM Rector of Entertaining Church. ships of $100 each have been assigned to daughters of clergymen. Six of them were given to scholars in the diocese of Connecticut and one to the daughter of a clergyman in Colo- rado who has removed there from this state. These scholarships, although small, often furnish just the help need- ed to enable parents in remote places to obtain some higher cducation for their daughters, so fitting them for self support. The committee on a day of united prayer for missions reported that cards were sent to all the parish clergymen of the diocese requesting intercessions missions and missionaries, church and at home, on St. Michae and ANl Angels' day, September 3 This is the third year this has been dome, and they trust that the custom is becoming firmly estsblished. Comfort Club Report The report of the comfert club in- cluding work for the diocese showed that the work of thet Comfort club for the past year has been most en- couraging. In addition to the 80 parish societies which have contributed mon. ey, clothing, books, household goods end Christmas gifts, very valuable gifts have been received from many icdividuals, some from friends outside of the diocese. Mbore money has been received dur- ing the year than in any previous year, which has enabled them to make con- tributions. for special needs, and in cases of sickness and death. To quote from a letter received from a clergyman, “You can never realize how much this assistance has been to us all, and the many hard places the Comfort club has helped us through. They have received in money dur- ing the year $1,033.83, with the bal. ance on hand June 1, 1913, of $37.24; their resources have been $1,078, ex- penditures $1,046.31, leaving a balance (for the needs of the early fall boxes) June 1, 1914, $24.76. The report of the Church Periodical club In Connecticut from April 1, 1913, to April 1, 1914, through 25 librarians, shows that aslde from a slight increase the work has progressed as usual with favorable indications for the coming year. The appreclation and enthusi- asm that their efforts have elicited come to them as a gratifying and con- vineing evidence of the helpfulness of their purpose, and of the great need for an earnest continuance of endea- vor. The report of the Church Missionary Lending library shows that the library has continued its work during the past vear and has loaned to classes and individuals in different parts of the diocese books relating to work in all parts of the mission fleld. According to the report of the Church Missions Publishing compauy, the publications of the past year have been chiefly devoted to plays for jun- for entertainment, and loose plotures for use in reflectoscopes to f{llustrate missionary Jectures or class note books. Of the former, Day-break in the West, by Mre J.D, Morrison, is a play on the founding and growth of Indian mii sions in Minnesota: The Doors of Nip- pon (Japan), by Miss Aibee, of Massa- chusetts, and The Light that Lighteth the World, a_general filu for the ex- tensfon of Christ's Kingdom: Plays of t:ll type are in considerable de- mand, Junlor Department.

By vote of the junior assistants, the Junior pledge was raised from $100 to $150, and it is encouraging to report that $280, almost double the pledge, was actually raised, Little Helpers. The 21st annual report of the Con- necticut Little Helpers was also heard. This past year the babies of Con- necticut, under their new name of Lit- tle Helpers, have collected $233.82. Of this amount, $91.49 was retained by the various parish leaders for their share the apportionment, leaving 3 to be divided in gifts. There are now 38 branches, not in- cluding _a new one organized at St. Paul's, Woodbury, and the promise of one or two others. liss Beach read the report of the Comfort club and gave the summary of the C.

Wealthy Chinese women are. also building schools for girls and this year 10 gir] have been sent over to American un versities. In speaking of the needs of St. Mary's school Mrs. Ely said that a dining room built for 50 girls is aecommodating over 226 girls. Be- cause of the crowded condition of the school Miss Dodson, the leader, with the help of only two little Chinese boys, one eight vears old and the other 12 years oid, built an addition on the dining room . and since .that time they have bullt four sleeping rooms on top of the dining room addi- tion. Another thing that St. Mary's needs is a physical director. There are two reasons why St. Mary’'s needs new land and buildings, said Mrs. Ely. The first is that the school is bui't right in the centre of St. John's university so that it is impossible to expand. The otrey reason is that the girls have to cross the campus to get to their compound and because of the social relations some of the mothers will not allow their daughters to go to the compound unti]l this is remedied. Mrs. Ely spoke of the great suffer- ing and privation in China, which she said is many times worse than the suffering in Europe now. The thing that will make missions a success, said Mrs, Ely in closing, is sacrifice. Seek first the kingdom of God: make every- thing else secondary. Bishop of Western Colorado. The next address was given Dby Bishop Benjamin Brewster of western Colorado. Bishop Brewster spoke of the wide difference of the conditions of the west and the east. He said t pecple of western Colorado kindly and hospitable people. Mo: over they are a chivalrous people they arc not naturally religious. leads very often to a lgos family ties. The western not take with them their religi did our ancestors when they came this country and so religion taken to them. shop spoke of the few workers that have cover a score of large counties and told of the conditions under which they have to work. In Bishop Brew ster's diocese there are many com munieanis and conv which shows that progres: is being made in that section of the country. Work in Idaho. Rev. Samuel B. Booth of Idaho, who as the next speaker, state. H was introduced told of the work in h Christianity may bo sured in th interest the Christians take in mis- sionary work and spoke of missio a world-wide fleld. One of the things Rev, Mr. Booth advocated was mission study. There is no movement so lasting in its good influence as beginning of mission study, he said. He then told of how much good was being accomplished by 2 gift of $5 given by an Idaho Sunday school. This gift was ‘the starting of a fund that is being used for the benefit of a voung native who is being trained for a missionary. The five dollars is suf- ficlent to support the young man for five months, Rev. Mr. Booth also told of the work carried on in Idaho dur- ing past years and of the missionary work that is being carried on among the Indians. This work is not alone religious, but is practical as well. One of the great needs of Idaho, said Rev. Mr. Booth, is more men to go there and carry on the missionary work. Oppertunity in Mission Work. The last speaker of the afternoon was Rev, George W. Davenport, who spoke of the great opportunity which les before the church today in the way of mission work. He said the world is calling us today. In speak- ing of the Philippines he told of the wonderful change the man-hunting natives have undergone since Chris- tianitc has been taken to them. Rev. Mr. Davenport suggested that the peo- ple take up mission study. He said he believed that if we could have a study class in every parish we would more and more experience the per- sonal religion. Rev. Mr. Davenport ¢ as a_ last thought I *" ¢ more and more we could give ourselves to prayer, he said, the more the lives of our missionaries would be lightened, and greater work would be done. In concluding, he said some of us can go to the mission flelds, most of us can give towards the work but all of us can pray that the of lha‘wctgé‘fl may be- come the kingdom o The meeting closed with the singing of a hymn gnd the benediction. Mys. Tyler Olcott was in charge of the seating of the delegates and was z the followi! erine Holmes, Brewster, Katherine Hunt and Kath- erine Brown as ushers.

Advice to Postmasters The department offers the following instructions, which are not manda- but each postmaster is expected ment is best adapted to nwet the local onditions prevailing. Prospective senders of insured C. O. O. parcels may be encouraged, so far as practicable, without cxpense to the department, by means of placards, newspaper items, etc., to obtain in ad- vance the number of tags which they shall need to be filled out and at- tached to the parcels before presenta- tion of the same at the post office. This will result in a great saving of not only to the post office em- es, put to the senders of such ter, besides relieving the couges- tion at the post offices and the incon- venience caused patrons thereby. Further relief may be obtained at oftice which register considerable quantities of mail daily during the season by the use of the quick form ration receipt. Frompt re- quests should be made by postmasters who are not already authorized to use this form of receipt and who believe its use would be advantageous, stating the number of receipts they will re- wilh estimate of daily average ces to be registered. Attention should be directed to the necessity of having parcels properly wrapped and .wdorsed. Senders should be encouraged to have the tags se- 3 tened to the parcels de- by them and should under- that all such parcels must he t the post office window oy 3 and nont placed in ibed tand orlinary m drops, As a latse number of Christmas o i perishable indoresd and articles as have pre- bed in postal regu- d for transmission o offices to which they cannot reason- bly reach before spoiling.

It mfght also be possible at some offices to accept the parcels and have the main items of the tags made |out b ces without detaining 'the 3 e ept to get the declared value give the properly completed re- ceipt coupon. C. O. D. Packages It is believed that a large number of business houses whose shipments of >, O. D. and registered parcels do not crdinarily justify the use of firm reg- Iswration books, could make very effe tive the use of them for the holidays and such patrons should be encourag- ed to adopt them. The use of the book makes it wun- necessary to fill out the mailing office and sender’s receipt of the insurance and C. O, D. tags. Postmasters are re- quired to lay stress on the advantage of senders insuring their packages. Special placards relative to this feat- ure should be printed by post offices having their own printing plant, It is believed that thé elimination of fourth class matter from the reg- istered mails will render the use ot lead seals in connection with the dis- patch of registered mail during the coming Christmas holiday season un- necessary, window wheré R Eastern Star Meeting.
